Planning your support
Planning community nursing around your everyday needs
A nursing enquiry is easier when the practical needs are clear: what support is being requested, the current care arrangements and how visits would fit around home life. Use the information below to prepare a conversation with Multibility Care about community nursing.
Explain the support being requested
Tell us about the reason for the enquiry and any existing care plan or instructions from your treating team. You may be asking about ongoing support after a change in circumstances, a particular part of a routine, or how nursing and daily living assistance can work together. The initial conversation is about understanding those needs and identifying what further information is relevant.
For enquiries about wound care, medication-related assistance or health assessments, explain the support being requested and any existing care instructions. The required clinical scope, care instructions, service suitability and availability need to be established before visits are agreed.
NDIS support and the health system have different roles
The NDIS may fund some disability-related health supports. It does not replace the health system or automatically cover every nursing or medical service. Whether an enquiry relates to funded disability support, health care or another arrangement needs to be clarified for the individual situation.
Bring questions about funding to your my NDIS contact or the appropriate plan contact. For clinical questions, rely on your treating health professionals. An enquiry through this website is a way to discuss a service request, rather than a clinical assessment or confirmation of funding.
Prepare for a service discussion
Sharing the right details helps keep the first conversation focused. Start with a summary rather than sending a complete clinical history in an initial message. If records are needed, ask how the relevant information should be provided and who has consent to discuss it.
- Your location and the type of nursing support requested
- Any current care plan and the people involved in it
- The proposed frequency or timing of visits
- Relevant access, communication and personal preferences
- How the requested support is funded or who can clarify that question
Keep nursing and daily support connected
Where several people are involved, it helps to agree who is responsible for each task and how changes will be communicated. Discuss what information a support worker, family member or coordinator needs, who may share it and who should be contacted if the existing arrangement changes.
Before starting, ask about the agreed service scope, costs, scheduling and the process for reviewing the arrangement. Clear responsibilities help prevent assumptions about what a nursing visit includes and what remains with other members of your support or health team.
Questions about Community Nursing
Can every nursing service be paid for through the NDIS?
No. Some disability-related health supports may be funded, while other care remains the responsibility of the health system. Confirm the relevant supports and funding for your situation before agreeing to services.
What should I include in my first message?
Include your location, the broad support request and the best way to contact you. You can mention an existing care plan without including detailed clinical records in the initial enquiry.
Further information: NDIS information about disability-related health supports.
Talk through your next step
Tell us your location, the support you are looking for and the best way to contact you. We can discuss the request, the information needed and current availability before an arrangement is agreed.
Planning community nursing
When exploring community nursing, start with the practical questions you want answered. Describe the nursing support being requested and how it relates to the person’s existing care arrangements. An initial enquiry can identify the general need and who is involved without sending detailed health records through a public form.
- Outline the requested support and any relevant care-team contacts you are authorised to share.
- Discuss how information, instructions and responsibilities would be clarified before support begins.
- Check which questions need to be answered by the existing health or clinical team.

For the next step, discuss your support enquiry or use the referral pathway. Information on this page does not confirm funding or service availability; clarify the proposed arrangement before agreeing to support.
